Compliance with environmental laws protects air, land, and water in communities across Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, Washington

 

CONTACT:  Hanady Kader, EPA Public Affairs, 206-553-0454, kader.hanady@epa.gov

 

(Seattle – August 27, 2014) The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 10, completed over 50 environmental compliance and enforcement actions in Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington from April 1, 2014 through June 30, 2014.

 

Violations of environmental laws put public health and the environment at risk. EPA enforces federal environmental laws to protect communities and to keep the region's air, land, and water healthy. These compliance and enforcement efforts also level the playing field by deterring violators who might otherwise have an unfair business advantage over environmentally compliant facilities and businesses.

 

From April 1, 2014 through June 30, 2014, EPA Region 10 completed the following environmental enforcement actions:
